Ryzen immediately went to his laptop and opened it. He was sure that there was some camera footage of the bombing that just happened. He just needs to be fast before the police department gets hold of it and locks access to the data. “What are you doing?” Federico asked him as the man stood behind Ryzen, watching his every move as he navigated his laptop. He had created a program that would enable him to access all the footage of the CCTV in all of New York without getting caught by the police. It’s a very discreet type of program that allows him to enter in the database unnoticed. “I’m going to secure the CCTV footage of the area. Maybe we can get information as to who was the bomber.” That caught Federico's interest. “Good. We need that. We need to know who that person is, there’s a chance that he might want to help us if we have the same goal.” Ryzen did a few clicks and tricks and within a few minutes, he was now inside the system of all the footage in all of New York. “You
A series of firing of guns echoed throughout the entire shooting range as Manuel repeatedly pulled the trigger. He needed this, because if he can’t let all his frustrations out, he knew he would kill somebody just out of anger. He doesn’t care about the lives of the people around him, but he doesn’t want to be branded as an emotional mess like his brother, Hubert. He lost count as to how many magazines he emptied for the past fifteen minutes. He could go on like this the whole day. In his mind’s eye, he looked at the target far from him, the person who was responsible for bombing a few of his buildings. his rage grew even more lethal as the images of people rolled in his mind. “Fucking asshole, how dare you fucking mess with me…” Manuel let out a roar of rage as he emptied the magazine, his rage pouring out. The deafening echoes of the gunshots stops and he was catching his breath as he stood there, his eyes red from rage, his lungs burning and his blood boiling. He threw the
Addison pulled her car in front of a well-known department store in the area. Her heart was pounding wildly inside her chest while she was contemplating whether she'd go or not. But there was a huge part of her that compelled her to go and meet this man in person. “Dammit, Addie. You could be in trouble with this.” She has different scenarios running inside her mind as he got out of her car and went straight into the ladies’ wear section of the store. Her movements were frantic. She chose a black shirt paired with navy denim jeans and a black baseball cap. Call her paranoid, but she’s not letting her identity be known in public. If she’s going to do this, she will have to choose a safe route, if there is any. After paying for the clothes she purchased, she went to the women’s comfort room and changed her dress. She put on the baseball cap and put a mask on her face to finish the look.
Addison stared at the flash drive in hand as her mind kept on thinking of ways on how to be able to retain the information in it. The message she received from an unknown sender told her that it’s a self-destruct file, meaning, the file will immediately be deleted after her first attempt to read it. No more rewind or review on the file. She only got one chance to read it, and she must remember all the details. “Shit, there’s no way I can do that.” She let out a sigh and leaned back on the driver’s seat. An idea suddenly popped in her mind. “Why didn’t I think of it? God, you’re slowing down, Addison.” Excitement filled her. She was still in her car, though she already left the meeting place the moment she slid inside her car. Pulling her laptop from her bag, she opened it and waited for a minute. With a phone in her hand, she frantically scans through the app until she finds the one she’s looking for, the recording app of her phone. “If you think you’re smart enough, think aga
Addison knew exactly that she had no escape this time. The dull smile on her face immediately faded and her seriousness overtook. “Where did you go, Addie?” Federico repeated his question. She has no idea how the hell did they found out but Addison had a slight idea that it was Ryzen. She sent him a death glare, which Ryzen responded only with an innocent shrug. “Seriously? You put a tracker on me? That's an invasion of privacy!” She was more than stunned. Addison didn’t expect that. The last person that she thought would do that to her was Ryzen. “I told him to do it.” Federico spoke. He was leaning his back on the couch, a lit cigarette on his hand. “It’s for the best. I want your every move monitored. I can’t another lose, Addison. I promised Salvatorre that I will take care of the two of you, and that was part of it.”“I’m sorry, Adds, I just want to make sure that you’re safe.” Ryzen’s face turned red, he sounded apologetic. She let out a sigh and joined them on the couch
After a year of feeling like the whole world has turned its back on him, Dominico felt elated for the first time. A satisfied grim made its way into his lips as his eyes fixed on the article that was just published online by an unknown person. Of course, he knew exactly who that person was. It’s Addison. “That’s it, Addison. You’ve done a very good job.” She wrote all the details that he gave, not even one detail was missed. Dominico was pleased to see that article being live on the internet. It won’t take long and the Mancini empire will start to crash. “It’s showtime.” A laugh escaped his lips.He can’t wait to witness how those bastards will beg for their money. He has contacted the major shareholders of their company, and he’s willing to buy the shares. The Mancinis owned twenty percent of the stocks, the largest holder in the company. If he could purchase at least twenty five percent of it, then he’ll have a hold on the company. He bit his lip to suppress a grin. Dominico
“Federico!” Ryzen was shouting as he entered their apartment. He’s been out all day and all of his hardwork for the day really has paid off. He just gathered some important news, and he can’t wait to share it to Addison and Federico. He’s sure as hell that they will be thrilled. “Fed! Addie! I’ve got some news! Fuck, you two should hear this!” His voice reverberated inside the walls of their small apartment. Addison emerge from the kitchen, she was wearing her favorited pink apron with straberry prints. While Federico was rubbing his eyes as he emerge from his room. “What the fuck was the fuss, Ryzen?” Federico’s voice was laced with annoyance, perhaps it stemmed from his sleep that was disturbed by Ryzen’s shouting. “Ryzen, where have you been all day long? You’re not answering my calls.” Addison scolded him, but he ignored that. Federico slummped on the couch, his eyes was still heavy with sleep and Addison just crossed her arms across her chest and waited for Ryzen to spill
“Are you sure about this? Did you really hack their system and input our names there?” Addison wasn’t feeling well with the idea that Ryzen had access to the database of the auction and input their names there as guests. It’s too risky, anytime there’s a big chance that they might be caught. “Don’t you have faith in me? Don’t worry about it. No one will know what I did.” Ryzen glanced at the rearview mirror and winked at Addison who was sitting in the passenger seat. Federico decided that it’s best if the three of them will go to that auction. Well, they were not interested in any items there, but they needed to observe the people who wanted to bid for the painting. It’s the fake one, and Federico wanted to know who the unlucky bidder would place millions of dollars for nothing. Addison let out a sigh of frustration. The drive was long, and every minute that they were nearing the building, she became restless. It will be held in one of Mancini's luxury hotels. Addison wondered i
